I actually like this shirt. But am a little dismayed about the turn the shirts seem to be taking....seems lately it is ALL video game/sci fi oriented. I used to buy at least one or two shirts a month, now it seems like I buy one shirt every two or three months. I am not saying it all has to be 'cutsie' but a mix is always nice, and the last few derbies there has not been a lot of variety as far as the winners went.

Do you realize you are in a blog with a bunch of VIDEO GAME/SCI-FI PEOPLE...?

Only about 10% of Wooters are "normal" run of the mill, out of the box, born in baby gap, marches in a straight line folk.

I'm not exactly what you'd call a "normal" run of the mill, out of the box, march-in-a-straight-line person, but that doesn't automatically mean I'm a "videogame person" either. Despite being born in the mid-80s, somehow I just never got that into them. Well, I did play Mario on the original NES as a kid, but haven't been much of a gamer since then.

In general I'm fine with pop culture references (and even video game references), but sometimes it is disappointing to see them monopolize the top 3 spots in a derby where there were some really great, wearable original ideas - and could have been more, IMO, if everyone hadn't gone apeshit for Zelda references all of a sudden. I usually don't bother voicing my disappointment, though. I mean, the video game/pop culture shirts show up here on weekends because people vote for them. I can't help it if the majority of Derby voters get really excited about stuff that's not my cup of tea--and neither can Woot, really.

um heah, I do.....duh.....but until the last few months there was an equal variety of shirts, now it seems to be all sci.fi etc....and I am not in the 10% BTW, just want some variety in choices....you can only be sci fi fun so much before it wears out, even if you love it.....
